SOUTHLAKE, Texas – May 1, 2018 – Sabre Corporation (NASDAQ: SABR) today announced a long-term agreement with Amazon Web Services (AWS) as part of Sabre’s multi-vendor enterprise technology cloud migration. Building on an existing strategic relationship with AWS that includes applications from across Sabre’s business already leveraging the AWS cloud, the two companies will work together to execute Sabre’s innovative cloud strategy.

AWS cloud capabilities are a key component of Sabre’s initiative to reimagine the business of travel and lead an industry evolution of the future of retailing, distribution and fulfillment through innovative technology. Sabre will leverage AWS as an important part of its goal to accelerate migration to the cloud as the company’s primary technology platform.

By working with AWS, we can accelerate the evolution of our next-generation microservices-enabled technology platform at the center of the business of travel.”
